Michael Sowa is a German bred artist who incorporates animals into his paintings and illustrations. The art is whimsical but most importantly makes me smile. The minute I saw "Fowl with Pearls" I knew it would be mine. I don't like mass produced pieces and wanted something really original that I would enjoy looking at every day.

The wall behind my couch is big and beige. With such an open floor plan I want to keep the neutral paint color. So I am thinking of doing a gallery wall. I love the idea of mixing different pieces together to make a really big impact. This wall can handle it.

Before I had a large french bistro style picture from Kirklands. At one time I loved it. I still love the frame.

Here is my bird put into this frame and turned around.

So here she is in all her glory! She makes me smile. Hopefully I can find more pieces that make me just as happy
